Oh Gosh, I cannot tell you where Clan Ross hail from. I am sure a member here will put you right, or of course "Google" should help.

Dumfriesshire is in Scotland on the border with England on the west side.Lowlands,or "border country".

Going from North to South on the mainland of Scotland The Highlands start at the North and going South, finish about at Stirling. If you look at that section the centre and West and the islands just West of the mainland is roughly the Highlands and Islands.

The lowlands are roughly between there and the English border.

The kilt was Highland attire until about 150 years ago when the lowlanders took to wearing it. Until then, the lowlanders did not wear the kilt and were in fact rather scathing about it.

I am generalizing here, but that should give you a rough idea.
